Managing search engines is rather frustrating as the list of search engines shown is not immediately updated when an engine is added, and the dropdown lists for choosing which engines go in the search button still contain engines that have been deleted (no, I don't think I need German dictionaries yet, nor Wikipedia in French)

Dear Anonymous,

1.) That it is not immidiately updating is possibly a limitation of XML.
Feel free to implement it for us by other means and we all will be grateful.

2.) Which engines are obsolete. That is a chore that can be doen by users not Dorian and the other devs. Feel free to start a thread about it in Development part of these Forums.

3.) Your last remark totally anoied me.

Items such as: LEO Deutsch-Französisches Wörterbuch, Wikipédia, L'encyclopédie libre and LEO Diccionario Español-Alemán ... were implemented by the devs that this project had during the last 8 years. They are simply needed by other users from other countries.

The recent devs (for more than 8 years) all came from non English speaking countries especially from France. They provided anonimous people like You from Washington state with an English browser...

Give me one reason why should they not have their own search engines included?

I think PsPad is a good editor, you could take a look at Notepad2 or better Notepad2-mod, i have used WinVi for editing some strange files.

Thx for the suggestions. I will try them.

PsPad is my default for strange files that are UTF-8 encoded.
But it invariably corruped the German search.xml UTF-8 encoding.

p.s. The two programs did not break the file emidialtely so that I could find & fix the problem. It was tagged as ANSI and was internally encoded as UTF-8.

Notepad++ can change the encoding to UTF-8.

PS: with "deleted engines" he didn't mean that those engines didn't exist anymore, only that he as a user had deleted them in his profile - or tried to.
